    I was running out of room on my MacBook Pro's SSD, thanks to a growing number of Test VM's that I need for work. After reading up on different options, I went ahead with this one and I'm glad I did. Not only is it super compact and nicely ruggedized, but it's fast enough to run my VM's like they were still on the native hard drive. Can't really ask for more than exactly what I needed to keep my workflow running smoothly.

    I've had many Samsung SSD's and they work amazingly for me. I figured since I go through the 1TB SSD's so much I might as well go for the 4TB version.

    Failing Drive - 1/2 of Advertised Read/Write Speed

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this drive from BestBuy in May of 2023. I've now had the drive for a year and four months. Yesterday, it began to fail. So to start off, the read/write on this drive is advertised as 1GB (1000 MB) and most I would get from BlackMagic's Disk Speed Test was around 500MB, which was unfortunate, but I had the drive and used it. I plugged it in yesterday, and it wouldn't mount. I couldn't repair it on my MacBook. Thankfully, a friend suggested connecting it to another Mac, which I was able to do, and the drive mounted. I was able to transfer files off, but it could not be repaired. It's no longer writable. I hope all my files are fine, but I won't know till I try to use them. This was very disappointing. I'm currently using the Samsung T7 Black 2TB drive from a client as my working drive now. I have two other Samsung drives. This one giving out makes me concerned about purchasing any more Samsung T7's which is TERRIBLE because they were a great option for my camera storage. Just to give all buyers a heads-up, this drive was regularly $349.99 at the time I purchased it. It was on sale for $219.99. And it is now currently $319.99 (was $499.99), which is a big jump. Not sure if lower price means "bad batch," but that was the case with the SanDisk Extreme Portable 4TB SSDs a year or so back. Even if it's not, this price jump on the Samsung T& Shield 4TB is really predatory for Samsung.

    I upgraded from a HDD, and this thing is quiet, fast, and doesn't get too warm. The shock absorbing outer feels sturdy and makes me feel comfortable carrying it around in a bag.
